   Word for Windoze 6.0 is an extremely slow, bloated, waste of space.  I
liked 2.0, 6.0 was just bad.  I use Lotus AmiPro for OS/2, and it works
great.  As for Word, that's about the performance you ought to expect from
it.

   INMHO, AmiPro is just as good as Word 6.0.  Sure, there are somethings
you can do in each that you can do in the other, but they all do the same:
act as a word processor.  As for DTP, I haven't found anything good yet. 
Good luck!
